A quick google search reveals that Germany has 2 symbols:
Germany – black
eagle (
Bundesadler) and
leopard (unofficial). Formerly Tiger and Eagle under Nazi Germany - it would seem as there are different answers from different sources- also the eagles wings breaking off the lion has been attributed as the American colonies breaking away from England during the revolution- and of course many ascribe America as the eagles wings saving Israel in Revelations- it is kind of hard to put all this togeather but I find it interseting to try- I like to listen to Irving Baxter on the radio sometimes- he comes up with alot of intersting scenarios.
